Platinum tumbles to lowest since September
SINGAPORE, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Platinum tumbled more than 4 percent to its weakest since mid-September on Tuesday as weaker gold and oil prices sparked another round of selling.
Spot platinum XPT= dropped to $1,320.50/1,340.50 an ounce from $1,386.00/1,406.00 an ounce late in New York on Monday and well below a record high of $2,290 an ounce hit in March. (Reporting by Lewa Pardomuan; Editing by Louise Heavens)
